Welcome![edit]

Hello, ZachHopkins17, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Article issues[edit]

Your additions to the social media marketing article include passages copied verbatim or nearly verbatim from a non-free source. This was detected by automatic plagiarism detection software. For copyright reasons, your entire contribution was deleted. Please review the Plagiarism and Copyright training module before proceeding further.

In addition, I don't think the source you used, brandongaille.com, meets Wikipedia's reliable sources standard. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:52, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise on the Gender pay gap in sports, and salary.com. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:59, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Sports in the United States has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing.

This is the second time you've done this. This is unacceptable. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:12, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Ashleyyoursmile. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sports in the United States, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Ashley yoursmile! 18:38, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
